Question

Beagle,

In your SCA write-up I think that V should be ground speed and not TAS. The SCA at light aircraft speeds is between about 25 and 40 degrees so differences of 20kts or so would be significant for correction distances of greater than 5 miles or so. To be truly accurate the groundspeed should be that along the correcting section of track.

- or am I being pedantic
